Shona with her Mum and Dad (and Ann and Rachel) setting off for home having received her certificate and completed her kilt

Today Rachel’s celebration was that Shona, one of her students, completed her kilt. It looks magnificent and some of her family came to see where she was learning and to witness her receiving her certificate.

I worked away all day in the Hen House, you guessed it, plaster-boarding. Tom came in for a while this morning and helped me with the two big sheets with which I required a lift and by the end of the day I could see that progress was being made.

We all dined in the farmhouse and later I relaxed in front of the television with Death in Paradise but soon I was asleep, waking in time to walk Mix and retire to bed.
